. . . but I think the key is to try not to think of it as part of the Stargate franchise and think of it as "Lost" in space.
The trips home with the Communicator Rocks often feel very contrived. (I'm having a hard time believing that friends and family members would just go along with this "Yeah, it's me . . . I'm just borrowing this other person's body" thing. And yet we have people so completely comfortable with the idea that they go ahead and have sex with "this other person's body." But even if they're not having sex, they're discussing the intimate details of their lives with a complete stranger who shows up at the door, claiming to be an associate of their friend or family member. But that contrivance aside, I'm enjoying the show, I'm enjoying the slow development of the main characters, I'm enjoying the fact that there's a Very Large Supporting Cast who are apparently happy to reprise their two or three-line appearances every few episodes. In this sense, SGU does it better than "Lost," which has a main cast of a dozen or more, and then an always-changing group of nobodies who never get a line. Sure, I still don't know the names of these semi-regulars, but the fact that they're there -- that they continue to make appearances -- makes the set-up more believable. So I like it. So sue me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BGG Down" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
